This book gives Burton\'s students an accurate transmission of his teaching on the core idea of self-remembering. Unique in the spiritual literature, this book is destined to become a classic. Glossary. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Useful text for advanced spiritual developmentThis is a useful text illustrating and explaining the work of both Gurdjieff & Oupensky, in the form of excerpts from lectures given by the author. It is a practical guide and handbook to spiritual devlopment via the Fourth Way. Some of the language used is a little arcane, but the glossary helps surmount this obstacle. Gurdjieff (1877 - 1949) lived in a mechanisitic age, and while his concepts and language are framed within this time in history, the essential information about development ... Read More Rating: - The Awareness of SelfThis book "Self Remembering" is the most important work I have read in years. It seems clear that we are on this earth for a purpose. That purpose is perfection of ourselves. By pointing out that we are responsible for the work of growing and can only appreciate what we have earned trough our own efforts, the author goes on to tell us what we must focus on in order to become our best self. Self-Remembering must become our constant state for that developement to occur. This is the simplest, most difficult, ... Read More Rating:  - Self-DelusionThough this book seems like a nice collection of quotes related to the art of the being present, it does not bring any meaningful teaching on its own. In fact, this book was really done by one of Robert Burton's devoted student who did the research on her own while the cult leader Robert Burton was sexually abusing his students. Over the lifetime of the cult, it is well-known that Robert Burton had sex with well over 1000 heterosexual men against their will claiming it is a necessary step towards enlightment. ... Read More Rating:  - self-remembering is overrated There are no causes in the observable world only effects. Knowing this distinction is different than knowing about this distinction. The teacher will create specific conditions for the student. The student will see the effects without seeing the cause. They'll ask "why" (is the teacher doing this) rather than "how." Self-remembering may provide the student with some insight about the process they are participating in with the teacher, but of itself self-remembering is overrated as is this book. But ... Read More Rating: - Beware, to the uninitiatedThis is simply a warning to the naive searcher, the reader who has stumbled upon what he/she might believe to be a current teacher of the Gurdjieff work: It is not so, and can not be so. This man has no direct link (save for a few brief meetings with a similar poseur) with the Gurdjieff work.. He is teaching his dream interpetation of the Real World. He has tried to 'steal' what little he knows of the movements from one of the Gurdjieff foundations. Although enetertaining at times, one might be better served rereading ... Read More
